Chapter 22 Flashcards
Ingestion
taking food in
Mobility
movement/churning of food
Types of mobility
peristalsis, segmentation, mixing
Mechanical digestion
physical separation of bigger pieces into smaller pieces, chew food to form bolus
Chemical digestion
involved enzymes, taking macromolecules into monomers
Absorption
after digestion into blood or lymph
Alimentary canal
esophagus –> stomach –> small intestine –> large intestine –> anus
What do the serous membranes around the digestive system do
allow the digestive system to move in place
Parietal peritoneum
forms a wall of abdominal and pelvic cavities
Visceral peritoneum
around organ walls
Mesentaries
serous membranes that connect the small intestine to the wall, in the middle of the gut
Omenta
greater hangs off stomach, lesser is between the stomach and the liver
Vestibule
place between lips and teeth
Bony/hard palate
made of palatine process of maxillary bones in front and palatine bones in back
Soft palate
made of connective tissue, muscle, and stratified squamous epithelium
Uvula
helps to guard the airway, excess tissue from when mouth was formed
Palatoglossal arch
anterior, form soft palate to tongue
Palatopharyngeal arch
posterior, forms back towards pharynx to throat from soft palate
What is the tongue made of
interwoven skeletal muscle and fibrous connective tissue
How many types of papillae are there
4, filiform, fungiform, foliate, circumvallate
filiform papillae
main papillae, tend to be white, pointed, seen all over the tongue, give friction
fungiform papillae
round little dots, appear red, scattered around anterior tongue
foliate papillae
on side of tongue
circumvallate papillae
form v-shape on posterior tongue, circles with deep grooves
lingual frenulum
connection between tongue and floor of mouth, connective tissue, tightness causes speaking problems
Where are taste buds found
fungiform, foliate, circumvallate
Where are non-discrete/intrinsic salivary glands
found all over
What/where are discrete/extrinsic salivary glands
3 big sets of glands on both sides of the face
Parotid, submandibular, sublingual
Parotid glands
largest, secretes serous saliva, ducts secrete at roof of mouth around 2nd molar
Submandibular glands
secretes serous and mucous saliva, ducts secrete at floor of mouth through sublingual gland next to lingual frenulum
Sublingual gland
secretes mucous saliva, many ducts at floor of mouth, many tiny little glands
Deciduous teeth
baby teeth, 6 months to 2 years, full set has 20 teeth
Permanent teeth
adults teeth, 7 years to 25 years, full set has 32 teeth (not everyone has a full set)
